Personally, I dont like it. I couldn't let someone put s piece of metal through there ear when they havent said the want it.

As for the cute comment. Isnt a baby cute enough already??

Jacob had his injections today and he screamed enough through that so god knows why you would want to pierce a babys ears willingly...he's crying broke my heart

i wouldnt get my girls done while they are babies due to the risk of them pulling them out etc, my eldest had hers done at around 3 yrs (i think she was ) and she still wears them now and is responsbile with them i only allow her to wear studs tho just in case and when shes at school i make sure she removes them.

Its all down to personal choice

I think it is awful to have a babies ear pierced. They should decide when they are old enough to understand.

I think its best to wait until the child is old enough to want it done themselves I didnt get mine done til I had sat my 11+ exam when I was 11, although I really wanted them done before that I think this was a good stage for me as I saw it as a treat and its what I wanted

I think its up to personal choice.

I remember reading somewhere it was advised against because of infections and hepatitus in extreme cases.

I agree with those of you who said it's cruel and tacky to see a baby with their ears pierced. I often see wee kids not just girls with hoops or dangly earrings in when on the bus. It makes me feel like screaming as the wee souls could get their ears ripped or worse.
